Sydney woman to pay $250k after suing cops

A Sydney woman who unsuccessfully tried to sue state and federal police over a terrorism raid on her house will have to fork out $250,000 in legal costs.

Moutia Elzahed claimed she was punched in the ear, eye and head and her sons were called terrorists while being pushed violently to the floor during the September 2014 raid on her Revesby home.

She became the first person in NSW to be charged with disrespectful behaviour in court after she allegedly refused to stand for District Court Judge Audrey Balla in late 2016, saying she only stood for Allah.

Judge Balla on Friday ordered Elzahed pay legal costs of $95,000 to the Commonwealth, responsible for the Australian Federal Police, and more than $158,000 to NSW, responsible for the state police officers.

Elzahed's husband Hamdi Alqudsi was jailed for at least six years in the Supreme Court in September for arranging for seven men to travel to Syria to fight with terrorist groups.
